Nektar Technology Panorama CS12

The Nektar Technology Panorama CS12 is a dedicated Channel Strip Controller for comprehensive control of your Logic Pro DAW.

The Panorama CS12 does what no other controller does. It allows full control over all DAW Logic Pro channel strip parameters, including plug-ins. The entire workflow is designed from the ground up, delivering amazing features with a workflow never before seen in a console.

High-resolution faders with a studio-class feel
The 100mm motorised ALPS fader tracks the selected channel of the Logic Pro mixer as it works. With up to 14-bit resolution, you get detailed, touch-sensitive control allowing real-time automation override and position sensing. Combined with a dedicated pan control and buttons for solo, mute and record activation, you have instant access to all the main mix parameters on the selected channel.

Control any parameter
Control any parameter with just a click. The 100mm ALPS fader instantly jumps to the position of the selected parameter, and you can control it with the fader or rotary control. Activate the Select button and the motorized fader now controls any parameter you click on. Any mixer channel, instrument, or plug-in parameter.

Easily and quickly create effective automation
Recording automation can be cluttered and generate a lot of data. Panorama CS12 solves this problem by giving you the ability to insert automation points. Touch a fader, set a value using the fader and you're done. Move to the next position on the timeline and insert another automation point. Clean, easy and fast.

Complete plugin control and insert FX
Panorama CS12 excels at plugin control. You can control any plugin without having to look at its user interface, so you can focus on creating, composing and editing. Many commonly used plugins are pre-mapped, including, of course, native Logic Pro plugins. The Panorama CS12 dedicates 12 RGB backlit encoders, 4 display buttons and 4 more RGB LED buttons to control the effects. Each control can be assigned from an extensive selection of parameters. The CS12 controls plug-ins in a way that no controller has ever done before. The 8 plug-in slot selection buttons light up when plug-ins are present in the first 8 slots, and the top button toggles between slots 1-8 / 9-16. Press the button and instantly control the insert plug-in. Press the next button and control the newly selected plugin. Through ControlCore's mapping system, all settings are stored in unique files so they can be transferred to other computer systems to ensure future compatibility.

Nektarine Map
Use the Nektarine application for perfect mapping control. Assign parameters to controls with a simple drag-and-drop, create a page structure, and name parameters and pages to optimize them for CS12. Once saved, plugin maps are taken over by ControlCore for use with CS12.
